[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 255538, member: 1664"] I am glad you enjoyed the company on your ride. I wish I had the same story to tell. My I.E. guy was a Dork. I normally would not talk this way about anyone that I know is mentally and physically weaker than I am, but this guy took the cake. One of the first things he said to me was," I know what you go through daily and I understand.( this is the part that got me). He said, "I've been there." I guess this was suppose to be bonding. I asked him about himself ,thru the course of the day. He has worked for UPS in IE for 15yrs,( drove a truck for 3 months, then went into IE). He has been there!!!! He was a manager at Safeway and got laid off. His skillset was ready made for IE. We stopped for lunch at the general store my wife managed. Ordered some burgers and my wife was pricing some canned goods. I introduced them to each other and the first words out of his mouth was, "I miss that." My wife, in her direct way of speaking said, "What doing this?", as she held the pricing gun up in the air. He replied, yes, with a wistful, mournful look in his eye. She just laughed and shook her head, as she went back to business. This man could not carry a 50lb box 50ft with out stopping to catch his breath. This is the same man that cut 2hrs off my route in the time study. I have been running this route as a satellite driver for 12 yrs and have increased the SPORH by 30%, over what can be run from the center. I was a bonus driver on every route I ran for 18yrs. But, now I run over allowed everyday. The center team has never given me any heat for being "over". They are smart enough to look at the numbers and know that I am doing the job correctly and efficiently. Sorry for the long post, but it does chap my (you know what) that number crunchers, without the ability to do the job, can dictate how quickly the job can be done. So Scratch, I hope you had a better IE guy, than what I had to deal with. PAX [/QUOTE]
